productive day
won't be caged, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.
While the greyness has persisted, at least it's not hot. I went out for a long walk this morning ("You do a lot of walking," my neighbor said) and it was nice to not be dripping with sweat by the time I got back. I found this flower peeking through a bench at Amelia Park, and I like its can-do attitude.
I started on the closet, which was the most daunting task. I packed up the old printer to sell (they don't have a software update for OS X), and several bags as well (I used to sell cosmetics, I have many, many tote bags). I found a few articles of clothing that I forgot I had, languishing beneath the "deal with it later" pile. I tossed some unsalvageable items and added others to the Goodwill pile.
The problem with all this purging is that my apartment is messier than ever, because of all the tag sale boxes and bags. Those will be going though, and afterward it will be much roomier in here. My goal is to get rid of at least one set of shelves altogether, and possibly two, so everything on all of them has to be sorted through and dealt with. *deep breath*
I got a ton of laundry done today, too. With this cooler weather, I decided to wash all of the cooler-weather clothing that I've been putting off all summer. Yeah, procrastination R us.
I have to find a place to take my old computer that died. You can't just throw those in the trash anymore, not that I would want to put all that toxic stuff in a landfill. Does anyone know of a place that will take it?
Oh, and the capper on my day is when I went to McDonald's for a frappé for a treat, and I got pulled over because I had a taillight out. *After* the cop wrote the ticket, I found a spare bulb in my glove box. He said I can appeal it ("the details are on the ticket," he said), but I still have to deal with that. *grr* And geez louise, 25 bucks for a taillight out! Stupid state. *argh* Stupid cop with nothing better to do. *grumble*
At least the frappé was tasty.
